Haden Thomas: Pro Golfer

He steps up
to the ball, goes behind it to see where he wants to hit the
ball, and goes back, everyone is quiet. Boom, he hits the ball.
It lands on the green. He comes up to put the ball, then he goes
back behind it and tries to find the break on the green so he can
find a spot to aim the ball. He comes back, and hits the ball and
its rolling, rolling, and he misses it by an inch to the left.
That was the one put he needed to make to win the PGA Tour
championship. He still holds his head high and shakes the other
golfer's hand. "How was that loss Haden?" "I don't know, thought
the break was 2 inches to the right and I didn't hit it hard
enough." "What are u going to do now?" "I guess go work on my
putting skills."

Hey everyone, my name is, Haden Thomas, and as you know
I am a pro golfer on the PGA Tour. I didn't win it this year but
I hope I win it the next year and you can bet that I will be in
the last round of the tournament. My first tournament that I ever
played in was the 2009 PGA Tour championship and I did so bad
that I didn't even want to play. I came home and just went to my
bed and just sat around all day watching espn. They kept talking
about want I did only if I would have made that put. They kept on
and on about it so I just turned the television off and went to
bed for the day.

The tournament that I won was the, The Masters in 2010.
I had to go against, Tiger Woods in the last round of the
tournament. We came up to the last hole and we were both even
through 17 holes and we were going on the last par 3on the
course. My caddie told me to pull a 9 iron out of my bag. So, I
did what he told me to do and I came up to the bal and did 2
practice swing and then I stepped back up and hit the ball. I
landed the ball about 20ft from the hole. Then Tiger came up and
took 2 practice swings also, then he came up and hit the ball. It
landed about the same length as mine but just a little farther
away from the hole than mine. The crowd started to scream and we
were waving our hands at them and then, they got quiet. We were
walking and we finally got to the green and started to go to our
ball and I had to mark mine because it was in the way of his ball
and you have to pick it up and if you don't, if hr hits your
ball, then wherever your ball goes, that is where you have to hit
the ball. So he came up and hit his ball and it rolled short and
to the right of the hole. Then I came up and I hit my ball and it
went in the cup and everyone started cheering and I was going
wild. Tiger and I shook hands and told each other good job and
then I went and claimed my trophy, went home, and celebrated. I
could not believe that I had beat the greatest player ,that is
living today, Tiger Woods in golf.

When I was a kid I always wanted to play golf but I was
never good at it. My fist time playing was in 1987 during the summer and I
didn't have nothing to do so me and my friend went and play golf
and we did pretty good for our first time, but it was awful for
someone who has played the game their whole entire life. I joined
the high school golf team a year later and I improved a whole lot
from when I first started playing the game. We did pretty good
that year and we all did about the same in the tournaments that
we played in.

I retired in 2025 because I just didn't feel like
playing in big tournaments on the PGA Tour anymore and it was
just getting bored playing like it was for some big prize that I
just wanted to play with my friends and have a good time and not
care about playing in all; kinds of tournaments. This is why I am
a pro g
